The New York Times asserts positively that, notwithstanding the denial of the fact by Mar- shal Barlow, the steamer Alabama, under command of Capt. Limebarne, left that port for Cuba, carrying several huadred men and an extensive supply of ammunition for the Cuban revolutionary army. She bad 513 men on board. The Spanish steamer Euterpe has not yet gone tosea. The brig B. F. Nash was Tecently suspected of having concealed arms cn board, but a thorough search proved the falsity of the report. A special dispatch from Fernandina, Fia., states that the ye=-els of the Cuban expedition had satled before Marshal Barlow’s dispatch to detain them was received. Two hundred recruits for the Cuban army arrived there yesterday from Macon, Geor- gia. An American revenue cutter and three Spanish gunbosts are off Cedar Keys, on_the lookout for C reinforcements. ‘The steamer Cuba, formeriy the Hornet, is reported to have been oif Barnegat on Thursday Iast.

The writer says the Hornet was sold to the Cuban republic at sea, oon after she left Halifax. She was subse. quently met by a schoon-r from Halifax, which transferred a number of men, and shorily after. vrards a ship came alongside and supplied the ivateer with Parrot guns and a quantity of munition. The officers of the Hornet say -two kRots per hour. can men-of-war will not interfere wita the Hornet unless she molests a ship bearing the American Private jeiters from Cuba represent that Americans io the insurgent army are very cra- elly and treacherously treated by the natives. ‘They are forced to beer the brunt of every ac- tou, murdered on tue field if wounded, and on the field and in camp kept ander the closest surveillance, and shot if detected astray.

The telegraph money order system in use in Belgium and Switzerland is about to be es- tablished in Great Britain by the Government, and the idea is received favorably by the peo- ple. The plan proposed resembles the post office money order system. Two similar forms, snowing the amount of money to be sent, are filled up in the same way by the remitter. The postmaster receives these cards and the money. He stamps one of them and gives back tothe sender, to send anything he may wish by way of telegram. It is then sent to the telegraph office, and the receiver, by ap. plying with the telegram at the district post office, obtains the money A Srxcviar Craim.—There is a beliet ia Mexico and throughont the world generally that when the Jesuits were driven out of that country, years ago, they buried in one of their principal colleges an immense amount of treasure.

The machinery was seized in one of the political convulsious and destroyed. A claim for this loss is to be brought before the Mexican commission whica meets Bere in December, and it will be one of he most mteresting cases which will come before that body.
